Example2: You get Airbus FO as a new higher, then 6 months later bid for Boeing FO. After Boeing training you would have the 2-yr equipment/seat lock.

The latest huge bid closes before the first newhire class in October. Considering this bid is effective May 1 and takes care of summer staffing, a logical conclusion would be the next bid effective date would be around ~September. Effectively, newhires right now should plan on being on their plane until next Fall.
